I am delighted to be here visiting with Christine today and equally delighted to be celebrating the forthcoming release of my latest novel, The Summer of New Beginnings which debuts on March 27th.

Although I’ve written 18 novels and received a number of literary awards, this book has special meaning for me. It is a story of sisters and, as anyone who is blessed with having a sister knows, there will be good times and bad times but through it all, you would lay down your life for your sister. After all, she is your sister.

Lake Union will release the third installment of the Sweet Lake Series in July. I can’t wait to share with readers this story about the restorative power of love. How has love — through friendship, romance, or family — improved your life? Comment below to enter the contest.
